"Addams Family" Characters: Wednesday Quiz

Answer: Pigtails

Wednesday is almost always seen wearing pigtails. Six-year old Wednesday wore pigtails in the original television series as did teenage Wednesday in her other appearances. In the 2019 animated film, Wednesday's pigtails come to an end in a noose shape.

A notable exception, however, is the Broadway musical where Wednesday is 18 years old. During a coming of age ceremony at the beginning of the musical, Wednesday cuts off her pigtails in favor of a more mature, shorter haircut. This scene is often cut for time in off Broadway productions.

Answer: Marie Antoinette

Wednesday has a collection of headless dolls of which, the one named Marie Antoinette is her favorite. Either she or Pugsley behead the dolls with their guillotine toy. In some versions, Wednesday can be seen carrying around the head separately and in others, she simply disposes of the heads.

Answer: Poison him right back

This iconic comic was one of the first insights into Wednesday and Pugsley's relationship. Their favorite hobby is torturing each other and this can be seen across the media. Pugsley was generally more into poisons and explosives where as Wednesday preferred torture devices such as the rack and the electric chair.

When the "Addams Family" first debuted, Pugsley was the older sibling but since the 1990s, Wednesday has generally been portrayed as the older one.

Answer: Pugsley's room

Wednesday gets mad at her parents so she decides to run away to get even with them. Pugsley catches her and tells her to hide in his room so Gomez and Morticia only think she ran away. The Addamses call the police only to find out that Wednesday never ran away at all. Later, Wednesday discovers her parents knew all along she wasn't missing and decides to run away for real.

She goes to the police station only to encounter the same missing persons expert whom the Addamses told Wednesday wasn't missing to begin with.

Answer: True

Wednesday is immediately suspicious of the Uncle Fester who arrived one evening after having been missing for twenty-five years. Fester claimed to be lost in the Bermuda Triangle but Wednesday is an avid fan of the Bermuda Triangle and knows no one gets out alive.

She is the first Addams to openly question Fester's identity and notices he doesn't seem to fit in at all. However, as Fester bonds with Wednesday she becomes more accepting of him. When she overhears Fester and Ms. Craven conspiring, Wednesday becomes fully convinced he is a fraud.

In reality, he was the real Fester, although he suffered from amnesia and didn't know it.

Answer: Pocahontas

Wednesday is asked to play Pocahontas in the camp's historically inaccurate play of the First Thanksgiving. She declines initially but later accepts the role so she can cause havoc on the production. As Pocahontas, she leads a rebellion of the outcasts (those who were "different" and treated poorly by the counselors and other campers) who burn down the stage and take the rich kids as hostages.

Answer: Yellow

Morticia is horrified that Wednesday would wear such a cheerful color. But Wednesday wants to impress the "normal" Beineke Family. A similar thing occurs in the 2019 animated film, when Wednesday wears a pink hairpin in order to fit in with her new "normal" friend Parker. Both acts are seen as bringing embarrassment to the Addams Family.

Answer: She became trapped in the attic

When Wednesday disappeared early in the episode, everyone assumed she was kidnapped by the giant vulture that is terrorizing the Addams Mansion. A ransom note was even found. However, Wednesday was not kidnapped. The chair she was sitting in when the lights went out levitated up into the attic and Wednesday was locked inside.

Answer: The refrigerator

In the video game, Wednesday is found frozen in the refrigerator and must be brought to the furnace to defrost. Although the game does not have a completely straightforward order to complete tasks, Wednesday has to be rescued at the beginning of the game in order to unlock other areas of the house.

Answer: Spider

Homer is a spider and was Wednesday's favorite pet in earlier adaptations, particularly in the 1960s series and the 1970s animated series. In the 2019 animated film "The Addams Family", Wednesday has a pet squid named Socrates. Previously, the squid's name was Aristotle (Beatrice in the musical) and was either Pugsley's pet or belonged to the whole family.
